In the recent coffee furry In New
York City, you mustn't rashly con-
clude that prices have gone down
fifty cents per pound. In reporting
the rise and fall Of the market the
cents is divided into one hundred
points, and 3 drop Of atty points on
ly indicates 3 variation Of One-half
cent. This Is worth remembering
when the markets are threshing
around as they have been Of late.
WHEN "GOd save the Queen" was
played in Montreal there was some
kissing and but faint cheering.
When, however, Yankee Doodle"
was ratified out the yells, shouts and
hurrahs Of the people were simply
terrific. There Is nowhere q more
n-English town than Montreal, and
20 the French, Irish and Scotch who
make up the asserted 225, 900 pOpula-
tinn the iubilating Victoria bears
the unhappy relation Of an interlop-
ing stepmOther.
THE Clay Center Times, speaking
Of the fine Sallna landscape revealed
from the SUBMITS Of the eastern
hills, compared it with the "peace-
ful landscape" Of the Republican, in
the neighbOrhOod Of Clay Center.
The Times says:
Salinas boss landscape is wild and
wOOlly, such as brings the rustler to
his knees and the stone wagon to the
/ front, but ours appeals to the artis-
tic sense Of the poet, painter and
musician.
The average "AlikepheresOn" man
admits that Salina is g metropolis in
fact ss well as in claim. And he
comes up to enjoy the pleasures Of
our beautiful city, its whirling &C.
tivity, it's Kaleidoscope scenes-just
the same Is he goes to Kansas
City, st. Louis or any other large
place. But the average" Nike
pherseon Dlan is not the man we hear
from. Envious newspaper men do all
the squeaking against Salina.
Mr.. GAULr, Of the Brookville
Times, states positively thas he will
not be q candidate for county clerk.
He SAYS that his time is too much
absorbed In newspaper work to accept
even 30 good an office as county
clerk. Friend Gault might take the
Presidency II it did not interfere
with the legitimate work Of the
Times; but even that wouldn't be a
temptation.
OK July 1, D. w. Wilder, Of the
executive department, assumes his
duties as superintendent Of the state
Insurance department. he will be
ucceeded In the chief clerkship BY
:. o. Mcdowell, Of Cherokee coun-
ty, who wss sergeant-at-arms Of the
last state senate. He is an old sol
der, and lost an arm In battle Nc

umbus Courier.
IN the New York Sun General B.
P. Butler denies q story, published
In the Washington Post, that bell
captured IN New Orleans was sold
by the General TO the Baptist church
at Wayne, No. Accompanying the
denial is q statement touching the
capture Of a nUmber Of bells that had
been gathered by the rebels at New
Orleans to be cast into cannon.
A eENTLEMAE prominent In Ahi-
Iene circles, who has been more men
toned in the Abilene papers than
any other individual In that village,
is Alexander KosciuscO Vanderbilt.
He is q refreshment vender, snd we
have a suspicion that in the dark
and secret vaults Of that establish-
ment the Abilene editors receive pay
for 30 much advertising.
IN this beautiful month Of June
the President Is pOndering over his
proposed western trip. He would
like to avoid that visit to Sc Louis,
and thus escape the effects Of the ire
Of the 6. A. r. boys. But he IL pig
headed, and must carry out his rep
utation for pig-headedness by max
ing the visit-even II be "dsshes the
dashed thing to pieces"
IT is semi-ofIicially announced
that Bayard win not under any cir
eumstances Be q candidate for the
Presidency. It IL full time that
the old var-horses Of the Demoera-
ey were pulling out Of q hopeless
field. There is no demand for them.
The mugwumpian Democracy has
the track, all the old flyers are
barred out.
The prominent life Insurance
companies do not care for risks on
the Presidents life becsuss Of hts
mode oflIving and his disposition TO
apoplexy. It would seem ss life
insurance companies would rather
save their money than boast Of the
honor Of insuring 3 President.
